John, a man from our church, is sooooo good at painting water colours. I love his work and today he held a workshop for those of us who were interested in learning about water colours. We met down at church and spent 4 hours painting.
John showed us what to do and explained the different technics.
Then we were sent down to try the whole thing out for ourselves. It was soooo much fun! I am now so inspired to paint with water colours!!

The 4 hours just flew by. We got 2 pictures done in that time. I like my first picture, but the second one I would do a bit different next time, use different colours for some of it. I enjoyed the afternoon sooooo much. It was so relaxing to get away and just sit and paint with 10 other people.
The best thing is that we have another 4 hours tomorrow. After church we meet again!!! Roll on tomorrow afternoon:-)

Wow, another string to your bow! The paintings look beautiful - when are you opening your gallery????????
Looks like you had a great time Laura, hope you enjoyed this afternoon as much. It really is a wonderful thing to spend time with like minded people who share your passions and interests.
We had a great afternoon. It was so cosy, we all enjoyed each others company...now we would love John to organise a trip to italy to paint....he was away on a trip last year and painted some fantastic pictures. Our thinking is that he arranges a trip for the group of us at the church and he is our teacher.....one can dream!!!
